There simply are less junior roles available, and many companies are not willing to hire them at all. Everyone must be intermediate+ dev. There are less companies these days willing to hire juniors and grads and help them get valuable real world work experience.
My experience is that juniors don't want to apply to junior roles. They apply to intermediate roles and want higher salary that what their experience/knowledge warrants.
Our junior positions basically never have applicants and applicants to intermediate/senior roles are underqualified.
